People need to remember that Ted Richards really didn't become the KPD until 2010, age 26.
Xavier is 21.

From what XR has shown, unless he's come along in leaps and bounds, he isn't the future.

If he isn't the one we have to target a cheap KPD then. Tarrant and Mitch Brown are the obvious two, but there are others. The other one is the ex Geelong Cat Maitch Brown who played for Essendon in the NAB Cup. He looked good down back, at least looked like he could defend.

Yes, but we are in a premiership tilt period. We actually need both. We need one to play next season round 1 as I don't feel Richards will be there. Look for the next defender gem. It is sort of why we should have entertained trading Mitchell last year. Could have had good shot at a Goodard/Durdin, etc. That said, that is past now.

Did you mean Mills? Because Mills is the inside midfielder whilst Dunkley is more like Rampe, more defender than midfielder.

Exactly!there's precedent for it when favorable trades weren't forthcoming. AFL can get stuffed with triple chins if it happens. The best up-yours in AFL history.
Yes Clarke "retired", but he stayed on Melbourne's list through past the end of the trade period, so the Cats actually had to trade for him (three way with Varcoe & Lumumba).

Dunkley is one of the best stoppage and contested midfielders in the TAC. A few would say he is the best one.

In that case can't complain about having another 2 midfielders join the team. We really need defenders before our 2 retire. Can't rely on Johnson to come back anytime soon, if at all.

That's probably what Essendank thought! He (Teddy) showed them...obviously the Swans think he is the future!

Sorry for the intrusion.
What's the mail on Tippett? Would he be a realistic chance of being traded? I imagine you'd be looking to ease a bit of cap space and we would have decent coint to offer him (and decent picks the way we're doing and the possibility of Aish leaving) What would you want for him?

Don't think he is going anywhere. We are very light on in the ruck department.
Personally mate i think Tippett is the one of the last players we will consider trading.
Mitchell/Reid and a few other names will be brought up in trade discussions before Tippett name is even mentioned.
AFAIK he is contracted till the end of 2016.
Thought his original contract was only 3 years?
He signed on in 2013, that is 3 years.

Signed until the end of 2016 season.
We do have a Contract Status thread which is linked in the useful threads sticky - http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/contract-status.929073/

This years trade will be interesting.
What I expect so see if we trade, say a Mitchell and Jones for a high draft pick, we would then try and split the pick. As bidding and point is only relevant to the team who needs points for player we could split say pick 6 for picks 12 and 14.
NB: not advocating trading either player or know values of 6, 12 and 14 but you get my drift.

Would cost a bit too much. The defenders we have to target are mid range. I'd be definately in the ear of Alex Silvani all year.

Well you get my point, those are the types of players. Just blokes that can do a job. We don't need Rance types that will cost the farm.

Just get Mitch Brown

Which one mate? There are two of them.
Joel Tippett is another one as a real insurance option.
You might laugh and jeez I recon he is a better forward, but Ryan Shoenmarkers
